"There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone."

1 Corinthians 12:4-6

WHAT IS GOD CALLING YOU TO DO?

In Luke 10:17-24 we read how Jesus had sent out 72 of his followers to preach, teach and heal, and they returned with glowing reports of success. Jesus had entrusted these relatively unknown men and women, each one with different gifts and talents, with the same work of the kingdom that he had given to the 12 apostles.

Jesus did not want to limit the work of the gospel to just a chosen few. He has confidence in each one of us. We are called, empowered, and expected to bring others to him. So none of us should feel inadequate or too fearful. All we have to remember is that it is not so much what we do, but what we allow the Spirit to do through us.

Our Parish offers many different opportunities for returning our gifts of time and talent to God. As stewards of God-given skills and abilities, volunteering in a ministry or organization provides a way to thank God, share our faith with others, and enhance our community.
